With an export of 163 million USD in 2020, we have become export leader in the market. We continue to multiply this success in 2021 as well. With our strong export and logistics network behind us, we export our white cement and special products to more than 65 countries, mainly in the Middle East, Europe, North Africa, and America. The 168 million USD of exports in the first 9 months of 2021 shows how much we deserve this success. Also, we did not only increase our export but also our turnover and profit. We have doubled our turnover in the first nine months of this year compared to the same period of the previous year, and increased it from 1.344 million TL to 2.533 million TL. In the same period, our net profit increased to 665 million TL. Our international investments also continue as one of the world brands. With Buñol, the white cement factory in Spain, acquired by Sabancı Holding and Çimsa’s subsidiary Cimsa Sabancı Cement BV, we have made a great step towards globalization.”
